10.50s maybe 11.50s
I've had 12.50s tear up wheelbearings and steering parts. My current project is replacing a spindle because 12.50s grenaded the bearing so bad it took the spindle with it.

I've not seen many 33x11.50s. I'll look into a set of BFGs if thats the case.
Is there a HD bearing that can be swapped in place of the stockers?

narrow tires perform better in everything other than real deep mud... i would go with 10.5's if possible

Yeah anything over 6" and you're going to be having issues with the pivot point drop brackets creating havoc on the frame. And what i would look intofor a 6" lift would be how places like autofab does it, and i'd go with an increased trac width as well.
Also i'd like to see some one swap dana 50 knuckles out onto a dana 44 housing, that way you get the longer ttb arms and the bigger knuckles and bearings, but this would entitle one to chop and weld the ttb housing.

I'd really love a d60 but thats out of the budget until after college so I'm working with what I've got. I'd thought about a solid D44 swap but my research made me think twice.
O.H.T, was that destuction with alot of abuse or daily driving?
When I go with the bigger tires I'll find some quality bearings too just for the piece of mind.
